<p>The Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STP) has no legal basis. Any plans
submitted will be proposals that will form the basis for discussion. Depending on
the level of local and national agreement, they may form the basis for further plans
and actions that will be subject to the same legal and best practice requirements
that govern the National Health Service.</p><p> </p><p>The local, statutory architecture
for health and care remains, as do the existing accountabilities for Chief Executives
of provider organisations and Accountable Officers of clinical commissioning groups.
Organisations are still accountable for their individual organisational plans, which
should form part of the first year of their footprint’s STP.</p><p> </p><p>The June
STP submissions will be work-in-progress, and as such we do not anticipate the requirement
for formal approval from boards and/or consultation at this early stage. Plans have
no status until they are agreed. When plans are ready, normal rules around engagement
and public consultation will apply.</p>
